Honor is not what it’s been cracked up to be for the last several millennia. Honor is a tool, if not THE tool of feudalism.
Honor is a manipulation of the natural, genetically inbred loyalty to family.
Honor is a tool of servatude, a tool of slavery.
For example, what would the world be like today with the blessing of the millions of souls from both sides who died “for King and country” in World War I?
Pray tell.
Relax.
Breathe deep. They almost had us.

You almost had us. But you had to be in control. We figured it out. You might be in control from time to time. But no one’s in control all the the time. Technique will not let you go until you serve it.
That’s how you design any religion.
Humanity will regress until reform-minded muslims shut down their imams and their violent, domineering brothers and sisters. No one can do it for them. They, not the rest of us, must hunt down and eliminate ISIS, taliban, al qaida, muslim brothers, hamas, hezbollah, quds, etc. We cannot do it for them. Jihadis have been indoctrinated since birth, there’s little hope to convert them. But, it’s worth a try in safe circumstances. Keep in mind that they will readily kill you, or their mother, or sister, or brother or their child if these relatives were to convert. Apostasy is a death sentence according to their indoctrination. And 400 years ago that was true in some other belief systems. Technology/technocracy is not progress. Progress is moving from an eye for an eye … to love.
This well documented article is re-posted here as a prime example of your government working against citizens.
Former FBI Director, now special prosecutor Robert Mueller, worked with Lois Lerner of the IRS to target Tea Party members and conservatives prior to the 2012 presidential elections. This article explains that.
I am guessing that President Trump is giving Mueller enough rope to hang himself in front of Congress and the American people.
Just when you thought the Deep State swamp couldn’t get any murkier and the stench any more repugnant, we are reminded by Judicial Watch’s Tom Fitton in a Feb. 13 tweet of how Robert Mueller’s FBI worked with Lois Lerner’s IRS to target Tea Party and other groups in the run-up to the Obama re-election campaign:
@JudicialWatch lawsuit uncovered how Mueller’s FBI worked with Lois Lerner’s IRS to try to prosecute the very groups Obama IRS was suppressing. Another reason I don’t trust Mr. Mueller – or the FBI!
The treasure trove of documents detailing the weaponizing of powerful government agencies, including Mueller’s FBI, by the Obama administration to target the Tea Party was obtained by Judicial Watch as a result of court orders stemming from Freedom of Information Act lawsuits after the political targeting of the Tea Party:
Judicial Watch today released new Department of Justice (DOJ) and Internal Revenue Service (IRS) documents that include an official “DOJ Recap” report detailing an October 2010 meeting between Lois Lerner, DOJ officials and the FBI to plan for the possible criminal prosecution of targeted nonprofit organizations for alleged illegal political activity.
The newly obtained records also reveal that the Obama DOJ wanted IRS employees who were going to testify to Congress to turn over documents to the DOJ before giving them to Congress. Records also detail how the Obama IRS gave the FBI 21 computer disks, containing 1.25 million pages of confidential IRS returns from 113,000 nonprofit social 501(c)(4) welfare groups – or nearly every 501(c)(4) in the United States – as part of its prosecution effort. According to a letter from then-House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-CA) to IRS Commissioner John Koskinen, “This revelation likely means that the IRS – including possibly Lois Lerner – violated federal tax law by transmitting this information to the Justice Department.”
The documents were produced subsequent to court orders in two Judicial Watch Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuits: Judicial Watch v. Internal Revenue Service (No. 1:14-cv-01956) and Judicial Watch v. Department of Justice https://www.judicialwatch.org/document-archive/jw-v-doj-01239-public-integrity-irs/ (No. 1:14-cv-01239).
The new IRS documents include a October 11, 2010 “DOJ Recap” memo sent by IRS Exempt Organizations Tax Law Specialist Siri Buller to Lerner and other top IRS officials explaining an October 8 meeting with representatives from the Department of Justice Criminal Division’s Public Integrity Section and “one representative from the FBI” to discuss the possible criminal prosecution of nonprofit organizations for alleged political activity:
On October 8, 2010, Lois Lerner, Joe Urban [IRS Technical Advisor, TEGE], Judy Kindell [top aide to Lerner], Justin Lowe [Technical Advisor to the Commissioner of Tax-Exempt and Government Entities], and Siri Buller met with the section chief and other attorneys from the Department of Justice Criminal Division’s Public Integrity Section, and one representative from the FBI, to discuss recent attention to the political activity of exempt organizations.
That attention involved harassment and intimidation of conservative groups opposed to Obamacare in particular and big government in general. The irony is that the same Robert Mueller now investigating Russian interference in the 2016 election cooperated with Lois Lerner and the IRS to intervene on President Obama’s behalf in the lead-up to the 2012 presidential election. As Investor’s Business Daily editorialized, Tea Party activist Catherine Engelbrecht was a prime target of this effort at political suppression:
Shortly after Engelbrecht founded True the Vote, which trains election volunteers to help root out voter fraud, and King Street Patriots, a group with ideals similar to the Tea Party, and sought tax-exempt status from the IRS in July 2010 for both groups, she was hit by an onslaught of federal harassment.
After seeing nary a government official in two decades of operation, Engelbrecht and her equipment manufacturing company suddenly had the pleasure of six FBI domestic terrorism inquiries, an IRS visit, two IRS business audits, two IRS personal audits and inspections by both the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms and the Labor Department’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
Engelbrecht’s persecution by the IRS and FBI was also detailed by Breitbart.com:
Engelbrecht’s troubling saga was originally reported by Breitbart News’ Brandon Darby.
Engelbrecht’s application with the IRS for non-profit status allegedly triggered aggressive audits of one of her family’s personal businesses as well. The FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation) began a series of inquiries about her and her group; the BATF (Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms) began demanding to see her family’s firearms in surprise audits of her and her husband’s small gun dealership – which had done less than $200 in sales; OSHA (Occupational Safety Hazards Administration) began a surprise audit of their small family manufacturing business; and the EPA-affiliated TCEQ (Texas Commission on Environment Quality) did a surprise visit and audit due to “a complaint being called in.”
The Democratic Party of Texas filed a lawsuit against her, as did an ACORN affiliated group. Both the FBI and the BATF continued to poke around her life, the lives of people in her Tea Party group, and her businesses.
This latest reminder or Mueller’s long history of supporting or protecting Democrats and their agenda comes just as it is revealed that another member of the Democratic elite was recently added to his star chamber staff of Democratic donors and Hillary sycophants:
An attorney on special counsel Robert Mueller’s team was a writer for HuffPost, The Daily Caller News Foundation has found.
Aaron Zelinsky, a self-described Democrat, wrote nearly 50 articles as a contributor for the liberal news outlet from 2009 to 2014.
“I’m a Democrat,” he wrote in November 2012.
A review of his articles shows that he supported President Barack Obama’s efforts to close Guantanamo Bay, opposed President George W. Bush’s policy on torture [sic], wrote in defense of gun control and argued for government-imposed limits on how much corporate executives can earn.
“Now is the time to begin enacting a progressive political agenda through the ballot box,” he wrote in a 2009 article on gay marriage [sic].
Zelinsky, who joined the Russia probe in June 2017, is not among the nine attorneys to have made federal donations. But state records reveal a $100 donation he made to a Democratic committee in his home state of Connecticut in 2014, a couple months before he joined the Justice Department as a prosecutor.
Maybe Mueller can explain his efforts to interfere in the 2012 presidential election in cooperation with Lois Lerner and the IRS. Or maybe he agrees with former IRS chief John Koskinen, who once famously said he and the IRS obeyed the law whenever they could. Maybe that should include Mueller and his FBI. Maybe we need a special counsel to investigate the special counsel.

There is a physical world (Caesar’s) and a spiritual world (God’s) and so far human science does not understand how they interact. We know they interact in many pervasive, millennium-spanning ways across humanity. For example, most humans experience love, insatiable curiosity about God and life, conscience, etc. (Yes, there are exceptions.) If the universe were randomly assembled, as some agnostics and atheists imagine, then how is it that most humans across eons of time, distance and language share these and other common, non-physical experiences? Clearly, something non-random is acting on us.
In the physical world, our knowledge is very, very limited. For example, in NASA’s words, “Earth, everything ever observed with all of our instruments, all normal matter – adds up to less than 5% of the universe.” We cannot see or measure the dark energy and dark matter that together make up about 70% of the universe. Dark matter and dark energy are catchall concepts for what we don’t know and don’t understand.
The Hubble Space Telescope observes the universe is expanding and accelerating. However, according to all science known to man, gravity should be slowing the expansion of the universe. But it is not. No human knows how to explain this physical reality. But something is still causing it, something is causing the accelerating expansion of the universe.
In summary then, so far humans cannot explain pervasive and commonly experienced non-physical realities, nor can humans explain about 70% of physical reality. But, we do have a guide book we can study which is given to us from the spiritual world and passed down through the ages. In the most agnostic, skeptical case, if the book is not derived from the spirit world, at least we know that people pass down knowledge that they have found to work.
Therefore, since we know we are lost, since we know we are idiots unable to connect the dots of our reality, and since at least we have reason and logic commonly shared among many (but not all) humans, then our only rational alternative is to follow the guide book. Not following the book would be irrational and random. Since what we observe is not random, then we would be stupid to act randomly, like wandering around in the dark looking for something unknown, rather than standing under the light of the streetlamp and studying that which we do have and using it as a guide. We once were lost, but now we are found. We need to understand the Good Book. What are you waiting for?
July 27, 2018
The business of government is to make government larger and more involved in your life. Your obligation, whether you accept it or not, is to control it. Refusal to accept your obligation is agreement to be enslaved.
Your government’s response to you should be identical to that of this boxer’s. Otherwise, your hand and the rest of you is dogfood.
If you give the puppy the run of the house, then it will relieve itself everywhere except possibly where it sleeps. Unfortunately, years ago we did exactly that and now it believes it can relieve itself on us and everything around us and it bites the hand that feeds it.
Do we put it to sleep? Or, do we try to retrain it?
Let’s have a federal commission on making the government smaller and less expensive…with a deadline…and guarantee that government will be reduced in size, cost and impact. That bill would get exactly how many votes in Congress? (We already know President Trump would go for it.)
Jennifer Bilek provides us with a brave and mindful article in the Federalist at the link below and copied below. Well worth the read.
In reference to her topic, I would like to fund the prognosis study that models with full statistical power the future of individuals, institutions and humanity, pros and cons, with recommendations replete with statistical probabilities and uncertainties for each decision, from the social and geopolitical level down to the level of molecular biology and of course psychology. The participating scientists should prepare peer reviewed science using the technological sophistication equal to but better logically than the other similar manipulation of society by rich men, i.e. the billions of taxpayer dollars spent on global warming/climate change studies and ultimately funding their crony enterprises.
There is a valid analogy between the global warming agenda and the trans agenda.
The article and the comments fail to recognize or point out that repetitious behavior patterns produce real biological changes, both physical and mental. In their cause, with a few exceedingly rare exceptions like chromosome abnormalities, surgery is only for the impatient and mentally lazy. Should taxpayers fund them? Science has barely scratched the surface of epigenetics and epigenomics. Humanity is not ready ethically, morally or logically to deal with these issues. If you can find studies of such issues, please post them.
Where are the philosophical and sociological studies on mutation?
It’s hard to imagine a civil rights movement so indelibly tied to the capitalist marketplace that it could be used to sell fashion, makeup, hormones, surgery, cosmetology services, movies, TV series, mental health treatment, and women’s underwear, while concurrently being invested in by billionaire philanthropists, the technology and pharmaceutical industries, major corporations, and banks.
Imagine marketing a suffragette diet of fasting, or makeup so perfect it could cover a welt from police brutality? Imagine Google and Wells Fargo investing millions of dollars to eliminate the prison industrial complex?
Transgenderism, a purported civil rights movement, now intersects at every juncture of the global marketplace. It is hard to remember it came out of the medical industrial complex as a term for the most intense body dysphoria. Children are being prescribed puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones, sterilized, and groomed into lifelong medical patients and consumers in more than 50 U.S. gender clinics that weren’t here ten years ago. It’s all because of transgenderism and that people fighting to live free of discrimination are hailed as heroes and celebrities for feeling alienated from their own biology.
What are we to make of this cultural storm that has transgenderism positioned as a social justice movement, a medical condition with ties to Hollywood as strong as those to the medical industrial complex, and to our political structure driving its ideology through all our institutions? The media keeps presenting us on the one hand with a trans civil rights movement for the oppressed and, on the other, with a cutting-edge (pun intended) lifestyle.
Transgenderism is looking more and more like Transgenderism™, when we look at the markets opening and its insidious presence in Hollywood. Whoopi Goldberg has started her own trans modeling company on Oprah’s Oxygen network, with trans models reported as the future of modeling. Supernatural Extraterrestrial and Co, a high-fashion clothing line, promotes their willingness to embrace a future of male pregnancy. A look at their new clothing line for 2019 has men strutting fashion runways in pregnancy prosthesis.
Trans celebrities are on constant display in the media, being celebrated as if having body dysphoria were a badge of honor. Cosmopolitan magazine offered a breast-binding guide for young women in 2016. Cosmetology consultant services are a growing business offering help to “trans women.” Crayola has created a new gender-fluid make-up, and Jecca has started a line just for “transgender” people.
Artists are photographing young “trans” children, and almost every new TV series has at least a nod to transgenderism. Jazz Jennings, a male teen who recently had his penis surgically removed, identifies as a transgender woman and has been on many major talk-shows since his family decided he was transgender at the age of four.
Jennings has his own reality TV series, chronicling his transition and how it is affecting him and his family. He also has his own trans foundation and has received many awards and accolades. A children’s storybook about his life, which normalizes for young school children the idea that they can become the opposite sex, has been adopted as part of some school curriculums.
TomBoyX is a woman’s undergarment company. It uses the term “tomboy” in its company name to denote a girl who enjoys so-called stereotypical boy activities like running and climbing trees to sell boxer shorts and comfortable underwear to women. Their message is of empowerment, not being hemmed in by feminine attire, but able to run and feel free “like a boy,” by donning clothes like his, but made for a woman’s body. In a recent ad they chose an attractive young woman with double mastectomy scars donning their boxers under a caption that reads: “This canvas was given to you but you made it your own. You crafted your own story. Share it with the world. #moretome.”
This message is a clear glorification of chosen body disfigurement posing as self-actualization and liberation, sickness as wellness, self-hatred made into empowerment, and cutting and maiming female flesh for public consumption via uber-marketing. George Orwell must be turning over in his grave with the language of doublespeak as prime-time advertisement.
It is not just the pharmaceutical giants, the IT industry, fashion houses, Hollywood, and artists melding themselves to everything trans. Banks and investment houses are sending millions of dollars to transgender organizations all over the globe.
Men at the highest echelons of society—such as billionaire philanthropist Jennifer Pritzker and the creator of SiriusXM Satellite Radio, Martine Rothblatt—are claiming not just a transgender identity, but for Rothblatt, that of a transhumanist as well. Rothblatt believes “transgenderism is the onramp to transhumanism,” the precursor to superhumans.
If you look at the way transgenderism presents in the marketplace, it seems very much like an ad campaign for changing human biology toward making better, “liberated,” “self-generated” individuals, while being tied to the medical industrial complex. Rothblatt’s book, “From Transgender to Transhumanism,” reads like a blueprint for the modern-day trans project to infiltrate every sector of our societies. If that sounds preposterous, scientists are already looking at changing our biology as a way to deal with climate change.
This is happening at a time in our history when the escalation of robots and artificial intelligence are also surging in the marketplace with female-simulated robot sex dolls that are frighteningly close in texture and appearance to real humans acting as stand-in prostitutes in brothels, and for some men, stand-in women in relationships. Robot nannies that supposedly offer guidance and friendship for children while their parents are away, are being marketed by Mattel and other corporations as “the future of raising children.”
At Goldsmiths University in the United Kingdom, an annual conference, Love and Sex with Robots, holds sessions on humanoid robots and robot emotions and personalities, in a range of approaches from the psychological to the sociological and the philosophical. Robot experts project we will be marrying robots by 2050. A quick perusal of YouTube under “robots and humans” will yield in the neighborhood of five million videos.
So while transgenderism removes us from our very biology, we spend more and more time online and engaged in technology than with most of the people we know. For many, sexuality is becoming more and more unmoored from actual intimacy through hook-up culture, porn, and now the advent of robotic sex dolls. We are also being groomed for greater relationships to robots, surveillance, and artificial intelligence.
Rothblatt joined Whoopi on “The View” in 2016 to discuss transhumanism and exhibit a robot made in the likeness of his wife, Bina. Bina, he insists, will live indefinitely when he figures out how to download her personality into cyberspace.
Although transgenderism is positioned under the LGB civil rights banner, it appears to have a much closer relationship to commerce and global powerbrokers who have a penchant for technological megalomania. There is plenty of money flowing to transgender organizations, but even more going to normalizing transgender ideology in the culture, in language, through media, marketing, and commerce, and by billionaires’ philanthropic funding of nonprofits and other institutions.
One has to wonder if the LGB civil rights banner has not just been strategic positioning for transgenderism to claim civil rights, currying popular sympathies already well cultivated for the LGB community, as a pretext to insert itself into the global marketplace, our schools, universities, courts, and medical establishments for more nefarious purposes.
Whether transgenderism is presented as intense body dysphoria, sexual-fetishization, social contagion, a civil rights movement, or cultural gender-bending that speaks the language of the progressive left while actually cementing gender stereotyping, being hyper-capitalistic and censorious, as a project it seems poised to normalize human biology-shifting through chemicals and surgery.
Far from a grassroots movement born from oppression, it is generated by the highest echelons of society and attempts to linguistically obfuscate its aim of creating an abstraction out of biological reality. Transgenderism seeks to dissociate people from their very bodies, and frames it as self-actualization. The trans lobby is fighting hard to change sex on birth certificates. Only a few states don’t allow people to change their sex on their birth certificates.
We need to look at what transgenderism does, how it functions, and how it is growing in the culture, and to ask why it does what it does, what it is asking of us, why it is so tightly wedded to commerce, and where it is leading. The trans lobby screams civil rights, but transgenderism looks and functions just like the worst of capitalism.
Given the current mainstream media disinformation about meetings between Trump and Putin, Americans should be reminded that Putin warned President George W. Bush and national security adviser Condoleezza Rice of a coming attack by Al Qaida on our homeland PRIOR TO 9-11-2001. Putin warned both of them at a June 16, 2001, summit in Slovenia. Putin didn’t know the date the attack would occur. In Rice’s later words , “Putin. . . was right. The Taliban and al Qaeda were time bombs that would explode on September 11, 2001. . . I was taken aback by Putin’s alarm and vehemence.”
Russian President Vladimir Putin publicly stated that he ordered his intelligence agencies to alert the US in the summer of 2001 that suicide pilots were training for attacks on US targets. [Fox News, 5/17/02] The head of Russian intelligence also stated, “We had clearly warned them” on several occasions, but they “did not pay the necessary attention.” [Agence France-Presse, 9/16/01] The Russian newspaper Izvestia claimed that Russian intelligence agents knew the participants in the attacks, and: “More than that, Moscow warned Washington about preparation for these actions a couple of weeks before they happened.” [Izvestia, 9/12/02]
Also, Putin’s Russian government warned the Obama administration about the 2013 Boston Marathon bombers more than a year before the event which killed four people and injured 264.
According to NBC News:
“In March 2011, the FSB, the Russian intelligence agency that arose from the remnants of the KGB, sent a cable to the FBI with its concerns about Tamerlan Tsarnaev and the Tsarnaev family.”
“The letter was a page and a quarter long and very detailed. It included contact information, with addresses and phone numbers, for many of the members of the Tsarnaev family, including Tamerlan and his mother. It warned that Tamerlan was known to have associated with violent radical Islamists, including a Canadian Muslim convert named William Plotnikov who was later killed while fighting for the mujahideen in Dagestan.”
“The FBI responded to the FSB cable by opening an investigation of Tamerlan Tsarnaev in March 2011. In June 2011, the FBI investigation of Tamerlan Tsarnaev was closed. According to the report, “the assessment found no links to terrorism.””
Robert Mueller, special prosecutor supposedly investigating Russians and President Trump, was the Director of the FBI before and after the 9-11 attacks as well as the April 15, 2013 bombing at the Boston Marathon. Mueller’s FBI dismissed Russia’s warnings.
Putin’s Russia also gave the U.S. other warnings, as CNN reported: “I can confirm that after the events of September 11, 2001, and up to the military operation in Iraq, Russian special services and Russian intelligence several times received … information that official organs of Saddam’s regime were preparing terrorist acts on the territory of the United States and beyond its borders, at U.S. military and civilian locations,” Putin said.
He said the information was given to U.S. intelligence officers and that U.S. President George W. Bush expressed his gratitude to a top Russian intelligence official.
“This information was indeed passed on through our partner channels to our American colleagues and, moreover, President Bush had an opportunity and used this opportunity to personally thank the leader of one of the Russian special services for this information, which he considered to be very important,” Putin said. http://www.cnn.com/2004/WORLD/meast/06/18/saddam.terror/
In late 2017, the CIA in the Trump administration warned Putin of a pending “major” terrorist attack in St. Petersburg, Russia. Russia acted and prevented the attack and the terrorists are jailed. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/12/17/world/europe/putin-trump-cia-terrorism.html
According to the Telegraph newspaper in the U.K., “The Global Terrorism Index found that 38,422 people were killed in terrorist attacks across the world in 2015.”
“The majority of these were in the Middle East and North Africa, where 17,752 died in terror attacks. Sub-Saharan Africa was the next worst-hit, followed by South Asia.”
“Since 1970, the Index has counted 106,539 deaths in this region, out of a worldwide total of 348,759 – compared to 6,400 deaths in Western Europe.”
Hypocritcal Democrats, mainstream media, Hollywood elites, never-Trumpers, EU losers and former Obama officials should butt out and perhaps President Trump and President Putin can forge an alliance to make the world a safer place.
Paul Thompson at the Center for Grassroots Oversight said, “It seems clear that there are people who fear an investigation, and that is why these dots are left unconnected. Ultimately, we are all in grave danger if these same officials continue to be in charge of protecting us from terrorist attacks.” I could not agree more.
